Gran boxeador martillo Roldán.en lo personal uno de los mejores representantes del box sudamericano.quizas eso no se materializó en títulos pero su potencia y su técnica siempre fue un espectáculo para los que nos gusta este deporte.
La vi a esta pelea, pero con el paso de los años y lo hotrendo del boxeo argentino actual, la imagen de Martillo Roldán se agiganta de manera descomunal. El "animal" Fletcher era exactamente eso. Lo vi en otras peleas y dava pavor ver lo que pegaba. Y Martillo lo noqueó.¡¡ Gloria a Juan D Roldan!!💖⚘
Frank 'the Animal' Flecter! These were the good old days when Good Boxing was on every weekend especially the winter time when most Sports were finished for the year. I miss these days.
I'd say Duran, because although he doesn't have the same strength or power, he's a much more polished fighter. Roldan may be like a "rabid Rottweiler" LOL.
Roll-on, Roldan. He did what he could take away your spirit in the first round, and then he would take care of the rest to you. Probably amongst the most underrated fighters of this era. Did you see what he did to James Kinchen? Jesus Christ.
Wow, how many overhand rights did Fletcher get hit with? It's amazing he stood up to that for as long as he did. That was the punch that floored Hagler.
no punch took hagler dwn it hit his back then back of head of balance hagler seen it in slow mo no knockdown but roldan was the hammer puncher one hard man
Hagler got hit numerous time with bombs like that and he withstood them like a brick wall. Bit let me tell you something, Roldan was probably the best puncher Marvin faced in his career, cause he said it himself.
Yes he did but it was overheard " rumor " by someone close to him. Hagler would never admit it but it's incredible to think that since he fought some of the toughest punchers out there in his time in Philadelphia.
Frank Fletcher was MADE!! for Juan Roldan. A Good crowd pleasing fight was this . But Juan was licking his chops with this fight. Made him for the Hagler fight straight after.
Helped that Roldan was at least one weight class stronger. Fletcher would have had similar problems with Hamsho but Hamsho did not hit as hard as Roldan.
Roldan was making it close vs Hagler and had Hearns hurt twice in that fight, as well. He reminds me of a mini-rocky-marciano...only knew one direction: Foward. and punch punch punch ....
At this stage of the animals career, he was spending more time getting high in the streets then the gym,you could see it right away and knew this was not a good matchup for Frank,remember it like yesterday, great era,great fights,every wkend ,on free tv
Frank Fletcher why didn't he fight with a mouthpiece? He had no front teeth supposed to have lasted them in a prison fight. But why didn't he wear a mouthpiece anyway. Isn't it a rule you must wear one?
Hagler caught him in the eye with the opposite side of the glove, not the thumb side. It's clear in the replay. Roldan was giving Hagler hell though. A real tough cabrón and awkward and hard to predict.
@@ThePsvan It's a shame it happened. Roldans eye was injured and technically they should have stopped the fight right there. Roldan's awkward style was partly to blame but it's in the past now. They both have passed away. But before that eye injury the look in haglers eyes sitting in the corner after the first 2 rounds showed Roldan was a real threat!
If not for the Marvelous One, Roldan would've become Middleweight Champ of the World. Tremendous heart and threw bombs with both hands. He was a great fighter. Imagine him against Joe Calzahge, two punch-throwing machines!
Oh c'mon you American Commentators . Giving excuse's why Animal Fletcher isn't himself BLah blah blah. The reason is plan and simple. He's getting his Game arse kicked!!! If they fought in Philly with MomMY Flecther screaming at the ring apron Roldan would still knock him out!
Roldan looks like a totally different fighter here, than against Hagler. Seemed trimmer and faster against Hagler. Here he looks slower and more plodding. Maybe he just trained much harder for Marvelous.
37 years gone on last 10th-nov of this most categorical fight of Juan in Vegas, before Bob Arum, Max Albert, ESPN, big crowds of cable TV and grabbing so big chance at Hagler. All he achieved from then on was far beyond his humble gifts, presenting huge fights on monsters like Marvin Hagler, Hearn, Michael Nunn, this last he poorly under performed while Nun would have to be more matched fight for him (Nunn was koed his next by James Toney). He unfortunately is at this very mom fighting his most difficult fight ever, in intensive care unit, breath mechanically assisted, holding on COV19, lets pray for him. he was really champ at life too
Fletcher reminds me of another exciting Philly fighter from the same era who never earned a title fight, but IMO was also pretty good and exciting to watch, named Curtis Parker.
Too bad Fletcher never fought Tommy Hearns. Would have been a great pay day for both with Philly vs Detroit. Would have been an entertaining fight as long as it lasted. Tommy would have finished him 3-4 rounds.
When it comes to fighters who fight like Fletcher did...every fight a war...they often lose it suddenly. Fletcher was done here, a shell of the boxer he used to be after taking years of punishment. And let's not discount the effect of an ex-con and street guy coming into hundreds of thousands of dollars falling into bad habits and questionable choices. Frank was just a bad seed. Once his career was over, he almost immediately went back to his previous world of thuggerey, crime and prison stretches. There isn't much information out there regarding his current whereabouts but I believe I saw a local documentary stating he's about 10 years into a 40 year sentence for murder.
Una potencia terrible roldan pero le faltaba estilo estar mejor armado con la guardia y boxear mas de distancia tener mas movimiento de cintura es como que buscaba esa piña de ko se regalaba mucho
Roldan todo coraje y fuerza, en técnica lo peor que se pudo ver en boxeadores de relativa relevancia. Cada vez que se probó con los grandes perdió. Estaba un escalón más abajo de los top.
Año 2022 mirando a este Toro Pampa Argentino. Orgullo Nacional!!
Roldán !! Un orgullo Argento, lamentablemente no fue campeón mundial por qué le tocó boxear en al década del 80. Sin embargo siempre lo recordaremos
Murió por el covid
Totalmente,y si Hagler no le metía el pulgar en el ojo...
Era un búfalo ,pero nadie le enseñó a boxear.

Gran guerrero argentino daba alma corazón y vida en cada pelea ak en Panamá lo queriamos mucho
Panama? Roberto Duran and Eusebio Pedroza weren't the stars? Seems strange.
Frank 'the Animal' Flecter!
These were the good old days when Good Boxing was on every weekend especially the winter time when most Sports were finished for the year. I miss these days.
Amen. Agreed.
Le contaron hasta mil y no reaccionaba pobre fletcher! Grande Martillo Roldan un mounstro.
QEPD....orgullo argentino...le pesaba la mano...lástima que no logró un título....saludos desde Panamá.
GRANDE MARTILLO ROLDÁN UN PERUANO TE SALUDA DESCANSA EN PAZ LUEGO NOS TOCA A NOSOTROS
Qué Martillazo. NOS DEJÓ ESTA OBRA DE ARTE. ETERNO MARTILL
Que grande Juan Domingo "Martillo" Roldán, ídolo de mi infancia, lástima ese título que no llegó
Guys really fought in the 80s. Both of these guys would be champs today. Hats off to bith. Neither of these 2 fighters were ever in a boring fight
R I P Martillo Roldán. !!! 😓🇦🇷
Que guapo fajador increíble Martillo Roldan...¡¡¡ QEPD
I remember seeing this live and when I saw Roldans record and seeing him I knew Fletcher was in trouble.
Roldan makes up for his boxing shortcomings by being strong as fuck. Serioiusly the guy looks like he could pull a tree up by it's roots.
Roldan had those George Foreman heavy hands.
Impresionante pelea, Roldan todo potencia y velocidad, un genio total !!!!
Awesome fight I remember seeing it in my cousin's house.😊
Roldán is the boxer that comes closest to a pitbull.
I'd say Duran, because although he doesn't have the same strength or power, he's a much more polished fighter. Roldan may be like a "rabid Rottweiler" LOL.
Roldan had to be a tough hombre... cause he actually went against the best of the best... holding his own as well!!
@Jamie WOW🤦🏿♂️🙏🏿...TRU champion 🥊... thanks for letting me know... I ended up watching a couple of his fights after this vid...
Roll-on, Roldan. He did what he could take away your spirit in the first round, and then he would take care of the rest to you. Probably amongst the most underrated fighters of this era. Did you see what he did to James Kinchen? Jesus Christ.
Yup he destroyed kinchen.
Yep,but I also seen what Hagler did to him
Roldan era muy querido por los amantes del boxeo aqui en Sudamerica que en paz descanse
22:01 tremendo gancho donde lo deja tembalndo las piernas a Fletcher para luego ya nokearlo
Fun fact: Juan Roldan actually wrestled with a gloved black bear.
Thanks for the upload. Love the 80's fights and I'm glad more and more are being uploaded.
Turned the animal into a bear rug
Wow, how many overhand rights did Fletcher get hit with? It's amazing he stood up to that for as long as he did. That was the punch that floored Hagler.
Hagler tripped over roldans foot - NO ONE dropped Marvin, fool 🙄
He layed the animal out like a bear rug he took way too many lead right hands left hooks and that uppercut plus final shot oww!
no punch took hagler dwn it hit his back then back of head of balance hagler seen it in slow mo no knockdown but roldan was the hammer puncher one hard man
Hagler got hit numerous time with bombs like that and he withstood them like a brick wall. Bit let me tell you something, Roldan was probably the best puncher Marvin faced in his career, cause he said it himself.
Roldan getting thumbed by Hagler was unfortunate. Roldans awkwardness was the partial cause of it just as much as Hagler.
Yes man. That is true story.
Yes he did but it was overheard " rumor " by someone close to him. Hagler would never admit it but it's incredible to think that since he fought some of the toughest punchers out there in his time in Philadelphia.
He’s on record as saying that he was hit hardest by Tony sibson from 🏴 actually. !
Frank Fletcher was MADE!! for Juan Roldan. A Good crowd pleasing fight was this . But Juan was licking his chops with this fight. Made him for the Hagler fight straight after.
The crowd in that fight was very lame. They should be ashamed of themselves. Thought the fight was very entertaining.
A fighter, like Fletcher, was tailor made for a power puncher like Roldan.
Helped that Roldan was at least one weight class stronger. Fletcher would have had similar problems with Hamsho but Hamsho did not hit as hard as Roldan.
Frank The Animal Fletcher the official boxer of NBC SportsWorld!
You are correct. Inhouse network boxer for NBC..
Cómo va al frente Roldán a jugarsela entero un grande
Tommy Hearns dressed in a full tuxedo in the second row.
Roldan was making it close vs Hagler and had Hearns hurt twice in that fight, as well. He reminds me of a mini-rocky-marciano...only knew one direction: Foward. and punch punch punch ....
I remember this fight very well, and I think the main problem with Fletcher was Roldan was clearly a class above him in the Middleweight division.
Roldan the man
At this stage of the animals career, he was spending more time getting high in the streets then the gym,you could see it right away and knew this was not a good matchup for Frank,remember it like yesterday, great era,great fights,every wkend ,on free tv
This Roldan guy was built like a truck and was too strong physically for Fletcher.
He was like a block of stone,of Huck of a man you do. Not stand in his way.
He literally use to wrestle with gloved black bears.
Para que le cuenta el referee jajaja le iba a contar mil y no se iba a levantar,,,, que mano le metió por Dios.
Frank Fletcher why didn't he fight with a mouthpiece? He had no front teeth supposed to have lasted them in a prison fight. But why didn't he wear a mouthpiece anyway. Isn't it a rule you must wear one?
LOVE these phone booth fights!
Roldan had George Forman punches. Not highlights, but sooooo heavy. He hits your elbow your elbow cries.
Descansa en paz juan asta ahora me recuerda el sufrimiento por esa pelea con tomas herns
I guess there is no good quality version of this fight. Roldan looked like he was 2 weight classes bigger.
Before that thumb Roldan was giving Hagler hell. Fletcher never knew what hit him.
Hagler caught him in the eye with the opposite side of the glove, not the thumb side. It's clear in the replay. Roldan was giving Hagler hell though. A real tough cabrón and awkward and hard to predict.
@@ThePsvan It's a shame it happened. Roldans eye was injured and technically they should have stopped the fight right there. Roldan's awkward style was partly to blame but it's in the past now. They both have passed away. But before that eye injury the look in haglers eyes sitting in the corner after the first 2 rounds showed Roldan was a real threat!
Look at Roldan slip those jabs at 18:20
This was an undercard to the Hagler-Duran fight , I think.
Yes it was
la derecha juan la derecha!!!!! hasta que salio el martillazo final!!!!
martin carballo
how come Roldan and John Mugabi never met?
If not for the Marvelous One, Roldan would've become Middleweight Champ of the World. Tremendous heart and threw bombs with both hands. He was a great fighter. Imagine him against Joe Calzahge, two punch-throwing machines!
The guy,was like the Huck He look like a block of stone, 😬👍.
Oh c'mon you American Commentators . Giving excuse's why Animal Fletcher isn't himself BLah blah blah. The reason is plan and simple. He's getting his Game arse kicked!!! If they fought in Philly with MomMY Flecther screaming at the ring apron Roldan would still knock him out!
+Karl Convey They completely missed the Roldan uppercut wich was the real ko blow 22:01
que buena pelea de Roldan !!!!!!!!! Los Frazier son todos iguales !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Roldan looks like a totally different fighter here, than against Hagler. Seemed trimmer and faster against Hagler. Here he looks slower and more plodding. Maybe he just trained much harder for Marvelous.
When your not in figjting shape,it's hard to let your hands go,he has no legs under him,he's done
No style but all heart and right hand. Roldan just a great brawler against an average one.
Roldan even looks bigger & stronger here. I wonder how much of a weight advantage he had going into the ring, if any.
Fletcher needed a better trainer that he would listen to…..

Pegaba como mula... Mismo rocky marciano
Marv Albert missed the uppercut to the chin @ 22:00 👀 He was out on his feet after that. 😢
22:05 the hammer destroys
Roldan was hard to hit.
Not taking nothing away from Juan Roldan, but Frank Fletcher had in a lot of wars. Those beatings had caught up with him.
Fletcher ALWAYS came to fight. I've NEVER seen him clobbered before in this manner.
Fletcher reminds me of another exciting Philly fighter from the same era who never earned a title fight, but IMO was also pretty good and exciting to watch, named Curtis Parker.
Gone Ballistik Exactly, his managers needed their ass whipped
Clinton Jackson, Hard Rock Green, Caveman Lee, Wilford Scypion. And the list goes on. It’s like he was on tv ever Saturday
Great conditioning
الملاكم الأسمر. لم يخرج سلاح يده اليمنى إلا نادراً. والملاكم الذي ينحني في الاشتباك فهوملاكم عمره كله لايصبح بطل واخطر الملاكمين هو من يلاكم بعينيه
Rodan un animal como pegaba
Aguante Martillo!!!
Too bad Fletcher never fought Tommy Hearns. Would have been a great pay day for both with Philly vs Detroit. Would have been an entertaining fight as long as it lasted. Tommy would have finished him 3-4 rounds.
Que guapesa como todos nuestros puquilistas reonicidos en el mundo
Tremendo
ROLDAN is da animal n not Fletcher. ROLDAN ALMOST FLOORED HEARNS N NUMEROUS OTHERS got a bionic right
Roldán peleaba MUY DESORDENADO, pero con cada trompada que lanzaba, te podía nockear.
Roldan was tough, but was also dirty. A lot of holding with the left arm, and coming in low with his head under his opponent's chin.
힘이 좋은 후앙 롤단 KO승
무섭네요~
Adiós martillo
That referee is so annoying
When it comes to fighters who fight like Fletcher did...every fight a war...they often lose it suddenly. Fletcher was done here, a shell of the boxer he used to be after taking years of punishment. And let's not discount the effect of an ex-con and street guy coming into hundreds of thousands of dollars falling into bad habits and questionable choices. Frank was just a bad seed. Once his career was over, he almost immediately went back to his previous world of thuggerey, crime and prison stretches. There isn't much information out there regarding his current whereabouts but I believe I saw a local documentary stating he's about 10 years into a 40 year sentence for murder.
He turned the animal into a bear rug
Lastima que nunca se quiso operar de lanariz en el 7mo ya le faltaba aire
Una potencia terrible roldan pero le faltaba estilo estar mejor armado con la guardia y boxear mas de distancia tener mas movimiento de cintura es como que buscaba esa piña de ko se regalaba mucho
Roldan todo coraje y fuerza, en técnica lo peor que se pudo ver en boxeadores de relativa relevancia. Cada vez que se probó con los grandes perdió. Estaba un escalón más abajo de los top.
Roldan, la negacion del boxeo, desordenado atropellador. Poco vistoso, con ese estilo nunca iba a llegar.
Lindo ko
